A method of performing overlapping operations with a memory device may have a sense amplifier circuit and two drivers connected to the sense amplifier circuit. Two data bus lines may be connected to the sense amplifier circuit to receive data signals. The method may include applying a first equalize signal and second equalize signal to the sense amplifier circuit to allow the sense amplifier circuit to receive the data signals across the data bus lines, applying a switch signal to the sense amplifier circuit to connect the data bus lines to a read data bus, and changing a state of the first equalize signal such that the data bus lines either receive new data or the data bus lines are equalized to a predetermined voltage while the data is on the read data bus and is capable of being read.
